Description
A classic early-90s 'super premium' card featuring Cleveland Indians legend Kenny Lofton in full batting follow-through. The card features a high-gloss finish, gold foil '92 Fleer Ultra logo, and a marble-textured bottom border displaying his name and position.
Key Features
Features a multi-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner during his rookie era. The 1992 Ultra set was known for its improved photography and high-end feel compared to standard Fleer products of the time.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic stock and gold foil stamping. This card was mass-produced during the 'Junk Wax Era' and is not a target for counterfeiting due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping is visible along the top and left edges against the dark photography. The bottom-left corner appears rounded. Centering looks slightly biased toward the top edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or Mercari. Individual sale is best handled through COMC where buyers can combine shipping for lower-value cards.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as grading fees will exceed the market value of a mid-grade copy. List it in a 'pick-your-card' style listing to attract player collectors trying to finish sets.
